Here is the 9th beta of romcenter 4. I added the following missing features:

'Update database': this is to be used when a new version of a datafile or an emulator is released. You can update the database without re uploading all your roms folders.

The import 'filter' feature is now available for datafile (in addition to emulators). Now that importing from a dat or an emulator has the same layout, I merged both menus into one.

Main window location and files dialog folders are saved.

When importing from an emulator, the path to emulator.exe is automatically set to be used when launching a game.

See below for other improvments and bug fixes.

Beta 8 has been downloaded 6000 times. This is huge for a beta version and I would like to thank you for using romcenter.
Release candidate is approaching and I will release it as soon as all features will be added.
As you saw in the previous news, I set up an account on bitbucket, and opened the issue tracker to public. Now you can report issues or improvments directly here. You can also vote for your favorites work item.

Although this version is stable, this is still a beta version. Be carefull with your files.

Feel free to visit me in the forum and ask questions.
